💰 BUSINESS OWNERS, LET'S TALK CASH FLOW!📊

Does your business experience busy seasons and slow seasons? If so, you need to be planning for BOTH!

One of the biggest mistakes business owners make is spending during their profitable months without preparing for the months when revenue slows down.

📌 Here are a few tips to stay ahead:

✅ Set aside money during your busiest months.

✅ Create a budget based on your business expenses, not just your revenue.

✅ Build a cash reserve to cover operating expenses during slower periods.

✅ Review your cash flow regularly so you can make adjustments BEFORE problems arise.

💡 Remember: Just because your business is making money today doesn't mean you shouldn't be preparing for tomorrow!

At Gold Star Financial, we don't just help you understand your numbers. We help you make informed financial decisions to build a stronger, more sustainable business.

🚨 TAX DEADLINE REMINDER | OCTOBER 15, 2026 🚨

Business owners and individual taxpayers, the clock is ticking!

If you filed an extension for your 2025 individual income tax return, the October 15th deadline is just days away.

Remember, an extension gives you additional time to FILE, not additional time to PAY.

At Gold Star Financial, we believe tax preparation should be more than just filing a return. It's about staying compliant, understanding your finances, and making informed financial decisions year-round.

Don't let procrastination turn into unnecessary penalties and stress.

📌 October 15, 2026 — Mark your calendar!

🚨 SOUTH CAROLINA BUSINESS OWNERS 🚨

If you sell taxable products or services in South Carolina—whether from a brick-and-mortar location, your home, your car, at events, or online—you may be required to obtain a South Carolina Retail License, collect the correct sales tax, and submit it to the South Carolina Department of Revenue.

Don’t get caught with your pants down! If you don’t have this in place, now is the time to get everything set up correctly. Let’s get it set in stone so your business can finish the last quarter of 2026 on track and move into the new year in compliance.

🚨ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS USING QUICKBOOKS PAYROLL🚨

If you used QuickBooks Payroll in 2025 or anytime in 2026, please log into your state withholding tax portal and CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT!

We are seeing clients receive tax lien notices for unpaid state withholding taxes, even though they were under the impression that QuickBooks Payroll was handling these payments.

In some cases, the state withholding funds were withdrawn, but the state is showing that the payment was never received, resulting in penalties and interest being added.

In other cases, the business signed up for QuickBooks to handle state withholding taxes, and QuickBooks was taking out and paying federal and state unemployment taxes, but the actual state employee withholding taxes were not being paid. Even though the business signed up for this service, for some reason that portion of the payroll taxes was not handled.

If you have W-2 employees and use QuickBooks Payroll, DO NOT assume everything was paid just because taxes were coming out of your account.
***Log into your state withholding portal and verify that your payments were actually received and applied.

If you need assistance reviewing your account, payroll records, or a tax notice you received, Gold Star Financial is available to assist for a consultation fee.

📞 864-497-2947

Please share this with another business owner who uses QuickBooks Payroll.

S-Corporation Owners: The Tax Filing Deadline Is Approaching

If your business is taxed as an S Corporation, the September filing deadline is quickly approaching.

Whether you filed an extension or still need to complete your S-Corporation tax return, we encourage you not to wait until the last minute.

Gold Star Financial will not accept S-Corporation tax returns after September 5th. This cutoff allows our office adequate time to properly prepare, review, and submit returns before the September 15th deadline.

If you still need to file, now is the time to get your documents together and schedule your appointment.

Contact Gold Star Financial today to secure your appointment.

📢 Important Payment Policy Update – Effective August 1, 2026

To continue providing the highest level of service to our clients, Gold Star Financial will no longer offer in-house payment plans.

Effective August 1, 2026, all services must be paid in full before work begins.

This policy change was made after careful consideration. Over the past several months, our firm has experienced a substantial amount of unpaid invoices for services that were completed and delivered. As a small business, we must ensure we are compensated for the work we perform so we can continue providing exceptional service to our clients.

As a small business, we rely on timely payments to cover operating expenses, invest in our team, and continue serving our clients with the professionalism and quality they deserve. Unfortunately, we can no longer absorb the financial impact of unpaid balances.

To help make payments more manageable, we offer third-party payment options through providers such as Klarna, Afterpay, and PayPal Pay Later (subject to approval). These financing options allow eligible clients to make installment payments while Gold Star Financial receives payment upfront.

Please note:
✔️ Payment is due before services begin.
✔️ No in-house payment plans will be offered.
✔️ Existing unpaid balances must be satisfied before any new services will be provided.

We sincerely appreciate the trust you place in Gold Star Financial. Thank you for your understanding, your continued support, and for helping us maintain a strong and sustainable business for years to come.

📢 IRS Mileage Rate Update for 2026

Attention business owners, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals!

The IRS has announced a mid-year increase to the standard business mileage rate because of higher fuel costs.

2026 Business Mileage Rates:
✅ January 1 – June 30, 2026: 72.5¢ per mile
✅ July 1 – December 31, 2026: 76¢ per mile

This means you’ll need to separate your business mileage based on the date it was driven. Accurate mileage records are more important than ever this year.

At Gold Star Financial, we stay on top of IRS changes so our clients don’t have to. If you have questions about mileage deductions, bookkeeping, or your business taxes, we’re here to help.

📞 864-680-1780 or 864-497-2947
📧 Schedule your consultation today and let us help you maximize every deduction you’re entitled to.
